Charles II issuing the declaration of Breda, which stated the terms on which he was prepared to return to England as king. The declaration was issued on 4 April 1660, and a little over a month later Charles II was proclaimed king by both houses of parliament in England. Charles II turned down invitations from France and Spain to embark for England from their territory, instead accepting an invitation from the Dutch states general. He sailed from Breda to Delft by yacht, from there to the Hague, and eventually departed for England from nearby Scheveningen on 23 May 1660 (he arrived triumphantly in London six days later). One of six illustrations published in 'Verhael van de Reys van Carel II, Coning van Groot-Brittannië, in Hollandt van 25 Mey tot 2 Junij 1660', a volume published in the Hague in 1660 describing and depicting the king's journey through the Netherlands to England. Engraved after Jacob Toorenvliet (1641-c.1719), painter and printmaker based in Leiden.
